New and improved​

Approvals​

The Zudello mobile app lets you clear your approvals from your phone, wherever you are. Until now that covered expenses and mileage claims only. We've extended it to the rest of the documents that wait on you.

Invoices and purchase requisitions

• Invoices and purchase requisitions now appear in your approvals list alongside expenses and mileage, so everything waiting on you is in one place.
• Open one and you get the full document, including the header details, every line, and the coding behind them.
• Preview the source PDF from the document, so you can check the original before you decide.
• Approve, reject, or flag from the document itself, following the same approval flow as the web app.

Wording that matches the document

• The reject and flag actions now use wording specific to the document type you're looking at, rather than the same wording for everything, so it's clear what you're sending back.

Activity​

Every document now has an Activity timeline, so the conversation and the history travel with the document rather than sitting on a screen you can only reach from a desk.

• Read the comments people have left on a document, in order, without leaving the app.
• See the document's history, including status changes and who made them.
• Add your own comment, so you can ask a question or explain a decision at the point you make it.

Line items​

We've made lines easier to read and edit on a small screen.

• Dropdown and relation fields now show their label rather than the underlying data, so a line reads the way it does on the web.
• Fields holding several values show them as a single joined list.
• Item search now leaves out inactive items and ranks the closest matches first, so the item you want is at the top.
• You can clear a value that was filled in for you, rather than being stuck with it.
• A line's SKU now matches to the item record it belongs to and keeps that link, so the item's details carry through.

Capturing receipts​

• If camera access is turned off, the app now takes you straight to your device settings to turn it back on, rather than leaving you to find it.

Working offline​

• A dedicated screen now tells you when you have no connection, so it's clear the app is waiting rather than broken.
• The app reconnects on its own once your connection returns, and picks up where it left off.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello's functionality and address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions:

• We've fixed the on-screen keyboard on both iOS and Android, which could cover the field you were typing into.
• We've fixed the approvals filter, which didn't always return the documents you'd filtered for.
• We've fixed spacing at the bottom of pop-up panels, where actions could sit too close to the edge of the screen.
• We've fixed the no-connection screen on Android, which didn't always appear when the connection dropped.
• We've improved stability when the app loses and regains its connection, so it recovers rather than needing a restart.

New and improved​

Improved catalogue search​

Finding the right items in your catalogue is essential for efficient document processing. We've made significant improvements to how searching works when looking for items by SKU or description.

Within the catalogue submodule​

We now use the following conditions for searches within the catalogue submodule:

• For searches with hyphens (e.g. C-2500-NAVY-87R) we look for an exact string match
• When you enter multiple keywords separated by spaces (e. g. Yakka Cargo), both keywords must be present in the results
• Results that exactly match your search criteria now appear at the top of your results, with partial matches displayed further down the list
• Sorting order is maintained based on the view you're using (date updated or date created)

In drop-down selectors​

• Item selection drop-downs, such as on transactions and other forms, now show results ordered by relevance
• The most relevant matches appear at the top of the list

These improvements make it much easier to find exactly what you're looking for, saving you time when creating and processing documents.

Keyword coding enhancements​

Keyword coding rules help automate the coding of dimensions and other information on your transactions. We've updated how these rules work to give you more control:

• Rules now fully overwrite fields rather than only filling in blank values
• All configured rules are now executed in the order they appear in the rules list
• If multiple rules apply to the same field, the last rule executed will determine the final value

This change gives you more flexibility when setting up complex coding rules, as you can now create layered rules that run one after the other.

Expanded fields for delegation of authority (DOA) approvals​

Delegation of authority (DOA) rules ensure that transactions are approved by the right people, every time. We've expanded our DOA capabilities to include the following new dimensions:

• Item groups
• Item categories
• Project types
• Project groups

This expansion gives you more flexibility when configuring approval workflows, allowing you to match your ZUdello workflow exactly to your business needs.

Place order audit improvements​

Purchase order management helps you track orders with suppliers throughout the full procurement cycle. To maintain accurate audit trails, we've made the following improvement to system behaviour.

When duplicating a purchase order, the Placed by and Placed at fields are now automatically cleared. This ensures that your audit trails remain accurate and reliable, making it clear which orders have been placed, when they were placed, and by whom.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello functionality and ensure that we address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions and improvements:

• We've optimised timezone settings for UK customers to improve performance
• We've made improvements to the saving process for user groups with numerous permissions
• We've resolved an issue where the Created by user field couldn't be added to forms, complementing the previously released ability to add Placed by and Submitted by fields
